I'm Natalie, warming you up for a chilly weekend with a fresh-baked episode of Autoweek TV. Here's what's in the news:

Several owners of the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S sports coupes say their cars are having an engine problem. Apparently, the car's flat-four engine is running rough at idle and stalling. A fan Web site devoted to the coupes has racked up more than 100 complaints about the problem.

Toyota and Subaru say they are aware of the problem and say it's a software glitch. For a fix, both automakers are reflashing the memory in the engine control computer. But if a Scion FR-S has more than 100 miles on it, Toyota is replacing the ECU. Subaru says the reflash is enough. We'll see if this cures the problem.

Last week at the Paris motor show, Volkswagen rolled out the seventh-generation Golf hatchback. The new Golf goes on sale in Europe late this year, but we'll have to wait at least a year to get it. But VW is giving serious thought to adding the Golf to its assembly plant in Mexico. That plant now builds the Jetta and Beetle.

The move to Mexico would help VW avoid some currency exchange losses between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. It would also make it easier to supply U.S. dealers as VW pushes to be number 1 in global car sales.

Finally, in other Volkswagen news, the Beetle convertible is ready for its U.S. debut at the Los Angeles auto show in late November. The open-top Beetle will go on sale soon after that. It comes a year after the redesigned Beetle was introduced. Buyers will have a choice of gasoline and diesel engines, mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic. VW says the folding cloth top of the Beetle convertible can be raised or lowered in about 10 seconds.

That's the news for this week, thanks for watching.
